  • What will you cross off your bucket list this year?

    Everyone should have a bucket list, I think — that list of essential things one must do in one’s lifetime. It can be specific — related to one area of your life, like writing — or it can be about everything. And I think it should be never ending. Hopefully life is interesting enough that…

  • Productivity two days in a row? Madness!

    I’ve been productive today and yesterday. Granted, a bit less today, probably because I slept for fifteen hours and could have gone back for more (read: I’m exhausted). But I have gotten a lot done. Yesterday I started the huge task of reorganizing all my books. You see, when I moved here, my mom unpacked…

  • Am ill. Please send care package of Nutella and Yogi Green Tea Echinacea.

    Decisions about blogging, and a Community reference.

  • On copyright, and dangerous blogging

    Roni Loren posted a blog about how she got sued for using a photo. It’s a very good post and I highly recommend you go read it and then come back here to read the rest of this post. Seriously, because I’m basically just commenting on Roni’s post. My first reaction to learning what happened…

  • Reviews for Bellica!

    So I’m pretty excited about this — I have two really great reviews for Bellica from friends Robin A. Sams and Mary Malinski. Quotes from each review: Katje’s character development is fantastic. She feeds details about the characters (and there are a lot of them, but don’t let that intimidate you!) in just large enough…

  • Technique Tuesday: Just write, dammit!

    I really need to learn to take my own advice. I have been struggling with just writing for weeks now. It’s only partially my fault, though. (No, really!) My laptop is on the fritz, so I’m trying not to overuse it while I work on backing up all my files from my external harddrive so…

  • Writers going to write (gators going to gate, etc)

    So, I’m sitting here eating the official food of women and thinking I haven’t done a Writer Wednesday post in a while.  In fact, I’ve been sorely neglecting this blog. Blame exhaustion, my injury, school, and my shoddy internet connection. At least all of those combined have certainly made it difficult. But in the end,…

  • Finding my place in a binary-gendered world

    They keep telling me to find a writer brand, something that I can stay consistent with. And the only thing that I can think of as consistent with my writing is that I write from a feminist pagan perspective, and that will never not inform my writing. Ok, so, feminist pagan perspective. Putting it that…

  • Musings on First Person POV

    I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy. I’d read The Hunger Games a few months back, and between Sunday and Tuesday I read Catching Fire and Mockingjay (thanks to mom’s Kindle, which I will blog about later). I really enjoyed both books. I think they’re well-written, have a compelling plot and characters, and make several…

  • failure to type

    I tried to write something meaningful today. I tried to write a post that had merit in the shitstorm that is life today. Somewhere along the way my words ran away from me. They’re tired of working in an oppressive regime, they said. They’re on strike, they said. The machine that they built is no…
